Ingredients
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, beat 3 eggs, 3/4 cup milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Dip each slice of white bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, margarine, or Pam. Cook the bread slices until golden brown on each side.
- Add more butter as needed for continued cooking.
- Serve hot with maple syrup.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk or adding a splash of vanilla extract to the egg mixture. If you're looking for a healthier option, almond milk works well as a substitute. For added texture and taste, try using thick slices of brioche or challah bread instead of white bread. Don't forget to sprinkle some powdered sugar on top before serving for a delightful presentation.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the French toast hot, drizzled with warm maple syrup. For a complete breakfast, pair it with fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries. A side of crispy bacon or sausage complements the dish perfectly. For a twist, try adding whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon sugar on top. This recipe also pairs beautifully with Quick Fruit Cobbler(Dump Cake) for a delightful brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the slices in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through and crispy. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 30 seconds, but this may result in a softer texture.
